THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.

For in that he himself hath suffered
being tempted he is able to succor them
that are tempted.-Paul.
Give So to the theatre twice or three
times week, and then throw 30 cents
in TO support your pastor on Sunday.
EXpend as much more on the circus and
pleasure excursions, and then get angry
and say your pastor Will ruin the church
by so many collections. Go to church
Sunday With over 81 900 to bedeck your
person with useless ornaments, and
sing Wait, We Winds, His Story" and
then put in an Old, slick quarter to
convert the world to God.-Arkansas
Methodist.
The Albany Journal says: 1.-THE Rev.
William Cullinan, who has served as
pastor OF q West Troy Catholic church
for % years and VINO lost his eyesight
three years ago, is now an inmate of
st. Peters hospital. When he entered
the hospital he was the possesser of
$4,000, which he had saved. Conclud-
ing to appropriate this amount for the
advancement OF mission work in foreign
lands, he sent drafts for the above
amount to the Right Rev. Herbert
Vaughan OF st. Joseph's Mission Soci-
ety."
The Rev. B. F. Barris says in the
Pacific Methodist: Imagine our Lord AT
the close Of His Sermon on the Mount,
holding a mum social and imposing
fine of shilling apiece upon all who
showed their ivory or giggled during
the time of fifteen minutes, for the
purpose Of securing funds to carry on
the great work Of salvation The thought
is blasphemous. Well, if it would have
been wrong for Christ to do it, is it
right for church to do it? Is it right
for pastor to even countenance such
an abom;nation ?"
1t was in an experience meeting in an
African Methodist church over In Viz
ginia. A new convert had been giving
in his confession. He had told the
brethren and the sisters all the sins Of
his life, and more too, with all their
aggravations. He had confessed to
every crime known to the statutes and
every sin known to the decalogue
When he paused for breath, gasping al
his own %ickedness, a brother in the
gallery shouted solemnly: Put out ds.
lamp" "Why for?" asked the pastor
Co.." said the solemn brother "de
viles sinner done return"
|. DR.. Ray Palmer's familiar hymn,
MY faith looks up to Thee" says the
Sun, "has been translated into dozen
foreign languages, and is known and
sung in every civilized land. 1t might
never have been published but for DR..
Lowell Mason, who met Mr.. Palmer in
Boston year or two after the verses
were written and asked him for some
sacred lyric to have set to music. Mr.
Palmer gave him My faith looks up to
Thee,' and 8 day or two later, when
DR.. Mason met HIM in the street. he
said TO him: Mr.. Palmer, you may live
many years and do many things, but
you will always be best known as the
writer Of that hymn"
Now we find Catholic writer main
tanning that, after all, hell may be an
asylum instead of a torture-house or a
burning lake. This is the way 81.
George Miyart states it: ''Perhaps
there is no dogma more repellent to toe
modern mind than that of the eternity
Of hell, and few things could be more
Justly repellent than the way in which
that dogma has been proclaimed and
defended by certain theologiaIs. IN
what a differentlight, however, will that
doctrine appear if hell is regarded as
the asylum of natural beatitude. pro-

give them more; since the vision o.
God, not thus mercifully yelled, but
seen face to face, would be to them no
cause OF rapture, but of suffering .'Ihe
question now is, Will this view OF he'll
